Description

Third-party accessory and component manufacturers in the cycling world are a mixed bag. Some fill stockrooms with "solutions" to problems that are rarely experienced. Others, like Idaho-based K-Edge create legitimate answers to definitive needs: one of which was the need for a durable, secure, and elegant mount for our Garmin Edge head units. Stem placement with Garmin's included plastic mount lacked a certain degree of refinement befitting the GPS unit. This K-Edge Garmin Computer Mount is a great improvement that provides a secure platform for your head unit, which unobtrusively mounts flush with your bars and perfectly aligns itself to your stem. It offers all of this, in addition to an ideal mount location that is more naturally viewed through a quick downward glance.

K-Edge is the official mount supplier to pro teams like Garmin-Barracuda and our very own Competitive Cyclist Pro Team. This mount has proven an invaluable tool to these teams, as its installation is simpler and more secure than the stock rubber bands could ever afford, and its weight addition to pro-caliber bikes is negligible.

Like their excellent chain-catchers, the K-Edge Computer Mount is made in Boise, Idaho from sturdy CNC machined 6061 T6 aluminum. It provides a secure fit for your Garmin Edge 200, 500, or 800 head unit. It also includes all of the mounting hardware — you'll only need an allen key to get everything dialed in. Also, should you manage to somehow break the mount, K-Edge backs all their products with a lifetime warranty. Choose between Black, Gunmetal, or Anodized Red.

Amazing quality!

I've used it several times

The K-Edge mount is a perfect partner to my Edge 500 and the fit and finish is rock solid. It gets the Edge in a very accessible position that is very solid so you can be confident pressing the buttons. You can't go wrong with this purchase.

I've put it through the wringer

Very well made and exactly what I expected. No more movement when scrolling through displays. Plus it keeps it out in front for better viewing. A bit expensive, but that's to be expected considering the materials and machining. Sale price is definitely worth it! I paid a lot more for my gals.

If the mount fits...use it

the mount fit my road bike bars perfectly. My MTB bars a a thinner diameter so we needed to put something on the bars to widen them so the mount would fit. Once on, the mount is great and and the Garmin is in a much better position than when on the stems. Just make sure the diameter or your bars matches the mount or you will have to do something to modify the bars. I took one star away because there is no adjust-ability for different diameter bars.

Nice little unit

I purchased this for use with the Garmin 800 to get it out in front, so that I can more easily view it. It's a bit scary trying to look down at the stem while in a paceline. This solve the problem. I use this unit with the Zipp Contour SL Carbon fiber handle bars with no problems. http://www.backcountry.com/zipp-speed-weaponry-contour-handlebar

I have Zipp VukaSprint aero bars and these...

I have Zipp VukaSprint aero bars and these Garmin computer mounts seem to require that the connection point to the bar be perfectly round. My VukaSprint bars are only round where the stem is connected and that is a very small area. Is there a mount, maybe this K-Edge, that will work with these bars? I recently purchased a mount called BarFly and it will not work. Thanks.

Sorry, looks like you're out of luck. You'll have the same problems with the K-edge that you had with the Barfly. They both need a round section of 31.8 bar area to clamp onto, and it doesn't look like your pictured bars have enough area.
